Some scoring by the Vikings in that last quarter.
Inaugural Football Championship Prediction Winner.

Frank Gore moved to 4th all time rushing yards today. Great pro. Big Ben moved to 7th all time passing yards too, eclipsing Elway.

Couple of kickers getting cut tomorrow

the Vikings kicker will be the first to be cut :'(. He just is not a natural kicker. They can bring in Forbath and Bailey for a trial during the week and keep the best one. They can move Carlson the rookie kicker to the practice sqquad if they want.

That is because I have stupid Rodgers at qb.

It is so satisfying to be a Browns fan.

You couldn't make it up what happened today.  I think everyone could see it coming after the interception in fourth.

I liked the article on Deadspin - "Saints first team to beat Browns in 37 weeks"

The very late timeout on the packers kick in normal time was sneaky but effective.

My God the Cardinals are horrendous. Worse than even I thought. It may well be a race between themselves and the Bills for the #1 pick.

Yeah it's going to be a grim year for you!

Actually I have years of experience of this. It's only relatively recently the Cardinals became a team where 8 wins was disappointing :) You find bright spots where you can, so I'm hoping Johnson starts to round into form a bit (it would help if the Coordinator designed plays which let him catch the ball on short routes in space), Chase Edmonds shows a spark, Christian Kirk continues to develop and maybe even a cameo from Rosen. I also want to see the defense continue to develop.

I'd take 4-12 at this stage, but it may be more like 2-14.

The Giants aren't too far behind if they can't fix the O-Line

Would you put Rosen in behind that O-Line? Bradford has looked poor but you have to weigh up the damage that could be done to Rosen too. Not an easy situation. Of course, Bradford could get injured at any time and that might force their hand.
